deal depends upon the kind of a man
that owns or trains the stable the boy
is working for.
Some boys who would have become
great jockeys have been held back
because of petty dislike of the train
er, or because of some favorite in the
stake. There are three golden rules
to be followed by boys anxious
to become good jockeys: First, plen-
ty of riding when young; second.
early rising always; third, steady
habits from apprenticeship to veter-
anship. Probably threc-fourths of
the jockeys to-day come from
'horsey" families Either their fathers
have been jockeys before them. or per-
haps grooms or stablemen, who never
became sufficiently proficient in the
art of riding to enter the higher
branch of their profession, or they have
perhaps grown too fat. Jockeys are
occasionally picked up in all sorts of
odd places by shrewd trainers, who
always have their eyes open when
travelling about the country. In Sc
Letting suitable boys for the business
the trainer looks upon the size of the
subject as perhaps the most important
consideration.
Stunted boys of twelve or thirteen
years of age. long in the legs but short
in the hody. thin and yet wiry, are
most sought after. The English
jockey serves an apprenticeship. the
terms and conditions of (which are very
rigid. Matthews Dawson, one of the
oldest and most respected English
trainers. has family prayers morning
and evening, and every night for a
couple of hours or so. The lads. OF
whom there are seldom less than forty
attached to the establishment, are in
structed until they acquire fair COM
mon-school education. They are WELL
fed and well clad. About fifteen out
of twenty of the boys who aspire to
jockeyship will, in the course of 4 few
years, increase in weight to such an
extent as to be practically useless
for riding in 4 race. Wtights
are kept down and reduced by sew
eral means, such as Turkish baths, abb
staining from certain foods and malt
liquors. and by sweating processes.
Jockeys receive salaries varying
from few hundred dollars up to Sl2.-
900 for such stars as James McLaugh-
lin, who lives in four-story, brown
stone front of his own in Brooklyn,
and rides for the Dryers; and William
Hayward, the oldest first-class jockey
in America. who rides for Applesby &
johnson. Anthony Hamilton, who
rides for Haggins. gets $4,000. and so
does Andrew Mccarthy, who rides for
O'Reilly. William Bender, the light
weight jockey of the Fairfax stables,
gets $4,000. But these salaries do not
express incomes. They receive fees
and presents. Gus Harvard was given
81 900 for beating Harry Bassett with
Monarchist in four-mile dash. Then
for riding mounts outside their own
stables they pick up fees. which are
usually, in fiat races, $25 for win
ming and $40 for losing mount for
jockeys who are not special stars.
Not all the jockeys days are days of
work. They are seen on off days at
the track or about town, dressed in
clothes of the latest style, and some
times betting their money freely

Kilmarnock. who insisted on a speech After
repeated demands Mr. Chamberlain complied

6rst time in its history, the Liberal party was
allied to men whose hands were stained with
blood, and who were assisting to obstruct the
proceedings of Parliament His Unionist views
with regard to the government CT Ireland. he
declared, were unaltered. During his speech he
was frequently interrupted. and it was noticed
that hisses were generally louder than the
cheers

BERGER'S CONSUMPTION CURE.
A New Orleans Druggist Tries 1t Upon His
Dying Wife with Successful Result.

New ORLEANS, April 13--The medical fra.
ternity of this city is considerably excited over
the case of Mrs. E. w. Albers, whose death.
within few days, from ealIoping consumption,
was declared as certain by several leading
physicians q month ago, but who is now
apparently the road to complete recovery.
She is the wife of A. w. Albers, n prominent
druggist of this city. When all the doctors had
given his wife up Mr.. Albers determined to try
carbonic acid gas and sulphuretted hydrogen
gas, as first administered by Professor Berger, Of
Lyons, France. and recently experimental with at
the hospital in Philadelphia. Two-thirds Of Mrs
Alhers's left lung was destroyed when the treat
ment was begun. with an improvised apparatus
on March &C. The result of the first week was
a gain of one pound clear. At the end of the
second week there was gain in weight of p
pounds, making clear gain of 81 pounds for
two weeks. One of the features was that
the temperature, which. upon the admins
trstion of the gas, showed fever of l02 degrees,
declined in half an hour TO 99 degrees. sud-
den drop of four degrees was followed by a
craving for food which seemed to agree per-
fectly with the patient and in turn was followed.

TianS for Siberian Convicts - Many Thou

Odessa Dispatch in London Daily News
In a report prepared for the ministerial COM
mission. which is now considering the project Of
gradually divertIng the transportation of Russian
conyicts from Siberia to the island of Saghalien
and certain districts in the transeaucasian and
central Asian frontier provinces the inspector of
the Tiumen- -Atchinsg route to Siberia states that
during the decade of 1856 2I8,578 prisoners
passed along that highway Of this number no
less than 2.SGl died the way, and l01, 266 were
sent from Atchinsk to the most remote eastern
settlements. The report furnishes record of
the probably larger number who pershed on the
latter part of the journey. 1t is also silent to
the causes of the =. .S67 deaths between Tiumen
and Atchnsk. The fact cannot. however. be dis
guised that the horrible hardships and sufferings
under which so large a number of these unfortu-
nate eXiles sink on the way are a standing blot
on the penal legislation of Russia.
